History

The first recorded archdeacons in the Diocese of Worcester occur from Шаблон:Circa around the same time that archdeacons occur across the church in England. Two archdeacons are recorded simultaneously from that time, but no clear territorial title occurs until 1143, when Gervase is called Archdeacon of Gloucester.

The Archdeaconry of Birmingham was created from Worcester and Coventry archdeaconries by Order-in-Council on 12 August 1892[1] but became part of the new Diocese of Birmingham upon its creation by Order-in-Council on 13 January 1905.[2]

The archdeaconry is currently subdivided into six deaneries: Evesham, Malvern, Martley and Worcester West, Pershore, Upton, and Worcester East.[3] The current Archdeacon of Worcester is the Venerable Mark Badger.
